I'm 29 years old, and have never had any
skin problems until about 2 months ago. I
took the morning after pill, and about a
week or two later broke out really bad,
which didn't surprise me at all. But my
skin has yet to clear up. The initial
breakout cleared up in about a week, but
ever since then I break out daily. At
first they were cystic and painful, and
now they're not as big, but I get about 7
or 8 new ones every day. Sometimes
they're centralized in one area, then
they'll move to another. And most
recently, some of them have started to
itch really badly. My question is this,
could this still be a reaction from the
hormones I ingested? Or am I suddenly
being hit with adult acne? I also have
been using Proactiv for about 4 years, and
used to have good results, but it seems to
do nothing now. Could there have been a
reaction to the pill I took and the
cleanser? Any advice would be much
appreciated. Thank you!
i would go to your dr or a dermatologist,
it could possibly be an allergic reaction
to the pill but not 100% sure on that one,
but ive never heard acne to itch so id def
get checked out.
